i want to get to nbc chief pentagon correspondent. he's got the latest on the developing story. jim, what can you tell us? >> well, if you're with with the ian y iranian military, this is a good tale. if you're with the u.s. military, it's a fabrication. yes, indeed, that is an eagle scan or a scan eagle drone. it just doesn't happen to be one of the u.s. military's. the u.s. navy claims that all its scan eagle drones have been accounted for. the iranians have said they captured the drone, they claim, by taking it over electronically as it was flying over u.s. air space. now, the problem with this is that scan eagle drones are pretty common in that region. when it comes to technology, they're at the very low end of the scale. they're readily available to almost every government in the region. many gulf states have them. intelligence indicates that the iranians either stole or perhaps bought this from under the table from some gulf state nation. but it doesn't appear that according to the u.s. navy, anyway, that there's any truth to the claims that the iranians actually seized a
